Not far from the former branch of the Dachau concentration camp - Riederloh II - there is the cemetery for the victims of this camp.
It operated between September 1944 and January 1945 and its prisoners were employed in the nearby Dynamit AG munitions factory or were made to fell trees or build roads and railway tracks. From among approximately 1,300 prisoners of Jewish origin, mainly from Poland and Hungary, who were sent here from the Auschwitz concentration camp, 472 died of exhaustion, hunger and persecution on the part of the camp’s SS personnel. The victims were buried in a collective grave on the edge of a forest. Nowadays, this is a small memorial site marked by a memorial plaque and several headstones that bear the names of the deceased.
